Chao Phraya River levels will rise in several central plain provinces from Sunday to Wednesday as water surges downstream from the North.
The National Water Command said on Friday the flow rate of the river in its upper section would be 2,100-2,300 cubic metres per second from Wednesday this week to next Monday due to forecast heavy rain. The discharge rate at the Chao Phraya barrage in Chai Nat province would have to be increased to 2,200-2,300 cubic metres per second from Sunday to Tuesday next week.
